Wailea, MAUI–AT&T will launch mobile, standards-based 5G in a dozen markets by the end of 2018. That was the message from a trio of execs during a roundtable meeting with the press on the sidelines of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Tech Summit. Despite being less than a month from the deadline, carrier reps wouldn’t commit to a date but reiterated they will get it done.
Gordon Mansfield, vice president of converged access and device technology, AT&T, provided a snapshot of the work going on currently to make the launch happen.
